I was listening to a man explain to me how bad he felt about a certain event that had occurred. It was a story and his expressed emotions of regret I’d heard several times. Once again, I told him that he was free to let that pain go. After all, it actually wasn’t something he was responsible for.

That’s just one example of people “driving” through life with their eyes fixed on the rear view mirror. Problem is…

As in real driving, it’s dangerous to use the rear view mirror for more than “checking” what may be behind you. Checking what’s behind you can be helpful to making wise choices in your next moves. But…

When a person’s eyes spend too much time looking to the rear – retelling their past – reviewing painful and frustrating circumstances…even spending too much time on good ones…

they may misswhat’s directly in front of them! At worst, this can be tragic. At best, a wasted positive opportunity. In fact…

There’s nothing more damaging to your future potential than wasting a present opportunity!

Jesus promised abundant life, did He not? Abundant is a good word. In fact it’s a great word! And, if you’re in His house of faith, it’s an open declaration of His desire for you. Really, it’s more than that. It’s a grace gift. He already paid for that abundant life that lies in frontof you.

Jim Rohn teaches, “Let your past be a school master, not a club.”

Check the rear view mirror of your life. But only give it the amount of time “remembering” was intended for. Be aware of things and people that are directly in front of you and enjoy the present journey. It’s His Abundant Life Will!

One more truism: You don’t own success. You have to rent it every day.
